@ Egos: yeah I was impatient too.. I originally had my e398/e1 and the right pin of the charger snapped in half.. i thought, hell..why go out n buy a 50$ charger when my contracts was gonna end in 6 months. so i went out and upgraded my contract (costing me $312 to do so cos my contract hadn't ended).. now i'm on a $45/month plan instead of a $33/month plan. which doesn't bother me at all cos originally i had 2 phones (one optus and one 3).. i am quitting my 3 plan which is $21 a month so all in all i'll be paying less in phone charges..

I've had mine for almost 1 whole week now, and i've had no issues whatsoever. the only thing about samsungs (almost all of them), is that they do not Vibrate AND Ring at the same time. and the camera could be better cos it has no AutoFocus mode or Macro mode, meaning that you need to hold it pretty steady and Close-Up shots aren't as good as they should be. But even though thats true, the camera is still VERY impressive.

Part II of previous post (post was TOO Long):


With video recording i was so impressed with the quality and reproduction of sound with playback! it's so clear and the white balance/saturation/brightness etc is so good that it is a great substitute for a low end video camera when you dont have one with you!

Sound wise, the main speaker for calls is VERY clear.. its sound is flat but also very crisp. and its also loud enough to hear in almost all conditions. if you want it even louder, there's a speakerphone function.

Sound wise, in terms of the stereophonic speakers for listening to music and also the reproduction of ringtones is also very loud (which is a great make up for the no Vibe+Ring). mp3/aac/aac+ ringtones start off soft first then boost up to a louder volume, which has its good points and bad points.

sms tones are by default, unable to be assigned by mp3/aac/aac+ files. and to finish off for now, there are many PIM applications, java games, a choice between Block and a 'flash' style Menu, the speed is very fast, the phone is very sexy indeed and is of very strong and sturdy build.

i rate this phone 9/10 - as you said, there is no such thing as a perfect phone

there is mp3 ringtone.. just with mp3 ringtone it is soft at first then the volume boosts up louder after a second. u can use MP3/AAC/AAC+/MID ringtones.

alot of memory (approx 69Mb end-user) and also comes with a 64MB Transflash/MicroSD.

I dunno
Thanks so much for ur help HT-- you've sold me... I went in to that shop on russel, but i need a freaking medicare card... so i';; go back tmrw and use my folk's one (which still got my name on it cause i've been too lazy to get my own one)
I hate the amount of ID, and a medicare card seems so obscure... what're they gonna do- check if i'm dying in the next 2 years? a telstra-shop just needed my credit card & driver's license.... I wanted my new phone today! now i have to wait till TOMMOROW!!?!???!?
Medicare [mumble mumble] stupid [mumble] medicare!! lol

Yeh, but i figured that's wat the license is for-- but this place needs 2-- (i know it's not for dying ) just seems unnecesary, and complicated (even tho everyone has one......)

@Egos: well every where you go for a credit check they'll always want 2 forms of ID and usually a backup such as a phone bill, electricity bill, bank statement etc. Drivers license, Medicare card.. they are the primary IDs that almost all places will ask for.. bank card / credit card too.

@lilsixer: well maybe because there is no confirmed release date yet?

it's actually the u890 and it is out on three already.

looks dodgy and a rip-off of concepts from the motorola v3 razr (especially the keypad). imo, it looks crap.
